Awesome inflow!!! The lower level is either building a wall or is weakening. Most of the time when you see this there is winds going into the storm and that lower level wind will bring the lower level moisture into the system creating one hell of a storm.
We had two days of storms but we missed the worst of it...!
Malaga and to the east of there seemed to get the worst, there was a lot of rain and hailstone in places and quite a bit of flooding.
We are fortunate in our valley and especially in our little village, the lay of the land and the surrounding mountains seem to produce there own micro climate.
We can sit here and watch as the storm clouds follow the hills on the one side and the mountains on the other, while we right in the middle can still be in sunshine.
Further up the valley the clouds converge and they then get the downpour.
Having said that we have had more that enough rain over the two days to last us a while, though the upside is that thankfully the temperature has dropped a full ten degrees... it is now much more pleasant than it's been for the last three months!
Great capture, while I was in Turkey we had one day of torrential rain and was flooded but Istanbul had terrible flash floods killing 25 people as they are not used to that sort of down poor x
I believe some people died here too Lynn, though thankfully not were we are!
The problem in the Med is that it's so hot and the land so dry that when we get heavy rains it can't soak into the land which is rock hard, it just runs off instead and causes flooding.
